Canada-based electric outboard engine manufacturer Vision Marine Technologies last week announced that it signed a supply contract with Neogy, a French company that manufactures specialized batteries and systems.
“We have entered into this contract with Neogy in anticipation of the commencement of commercial production of our E-Motion 180E [outboard] powertrain system, with such deliveries projected to commence in mid-2023,” Alex Mongeon, Vision Marine CEO and co-founder, said in a statement. “Neogy has given Vision Marine tremendous support throughout the past year, and we are very excited to expand our relationship with them.”
The production contract provides for Vision Marine’s initial purchase of 240 of Neogy’s customized batteries that have been designed to the engine maker’s specifications. The first batch of batteries will be delivered immediately with the final allotment set for delivery by spring of 2023. The batteries will be installed in 120 complete systems for the 180E propulsion system being offered to OEMs.
